The dish was professionally installed when I got the TV (I've never had Sky). It's mounted half way up the side of the house above the garage in a fairly sheltered spot. I've just been up to have a look at it - it looks pretty solid and the connections seem alright but I suppose there is always...

I tried that as suggested but it made no difference. I then tried to retune using Autotune and got the message that it could not find Astra 2. Does this mean that it probably is the dish that is out of alignment? We did have some blustery weather a couple of nights ago.

I've had a Panasonic TX-37LZD81 for about six months and have had no problems at all receiving Freesat until yesterday when I switched it on and was greeted with a NO SIGNAL message. There was no picture and the signal strengh meter was showing Nil although the programme information was still...

Yes that seems to be what's happening. Only the channels from the last scanned satellite appear on the menu

Hi Complete newbie here so I hope this isn't a daft question. I've had a Fortec Star platinum operating for about 18 months to pick up Astra 19E and Hotbird using 1 Fixed dish, 2 LNBs, 2 cables and a separate DiSEqC. The dish had become rusty and corroded and the installer replaced it with a...
